About the Burst of Color Run
This is a color run, meaning participants pass through stations where colored powder gets thrown into the air and onto whatever you are wearing. There is a timed option for those chasing a finish-time result, and an untimed walk and run for everyone else. The whole event is organized around a charitable mission, with registration proceeds going toward food, clean water, and education programs.
Colored powder packets are part of the experience, and extras are available to buy. Accessories like squirt bottles and glasses are also sold separately, so you can gear up at registration or just show up and go.
